Looking for some quality kitchen scales. 3-5kg max weight. Under $40. 1g increments. The ones I've tried are not accurate enough. Any recommendations? Thanks kindly

Is it very accurate? It looks pretty cheap is all. Any chance you've given it the coin test? Cheers
He's the seller, and it's a generic brand.
Wanting a scale totally accurate to 1g, I think you're going to be pushing to get it for anywhere near $14.
Yeah, that's what I was assuming too. Thanks :)
If you're going to be weighing things that need 1g precision, e.g. herbs, maybe you need a separate smaller scale for that? For weighing flour, I don't see that 1g in 500g is an error I need to worry about.
Yes, I'm the seller and user at the same time. I always use that to weight the boxes I need to send without any problem.
I did a test with coins and that's the scale is telling me:
50 cents = 16 g
20 cents = 12 g
10 cents = 5 g
5 cents = 2 g
1 dollar = 9 g
2 dollar = 6 gThen I repeat again and I found the coins weight the same result.
If you are thinking to get 100.00% accuracy, I think you should get a much more expensive one :D
Hope that helps :D
Cheers.
